Improvements on the Server

I made a few changes over the weekend to improve site performance. If you notice pages loading any faster, that is why. I also removed some of the ads, it looked like they were the last thing to load on a few pages, and I don't want them to slow the site down. And the ads are only there to try and offset hosting costs, we're not in this for any money (which is good, because ads don't make any).

Also, in case you missed it, a few weeks ago I added some checkboxes to the fan cards, "FOTY Contender" being one of them. If you feel like editing your old cards to put in some votes for FOTY for 2013 so far, all your fight cards are accessible on your profile (My Account link, see above right, if you're logged in). Could be interesting to see what the fans vote for at the end of the year (or sooner).

I should have mentioned what improvements I will be working on next. Most likely the next addition will be either a calendar to browse fights or some more sophisticated forum features. As always, send me a suggestion if you have something in mind you'd like to see here.

I just made a few tweaks to speed up the load time of the homepage. I think I can see an improvement, but it's hard to say that and believe myself when we're talking about milliseconds. Anyway, the homepage should load a *tad* faster.
